Rear seat belt - Xantia 95

Has anyone changed a rear seat belt in a Xantia saloon? 1995.

I have my MOT on monday and the only thing i can see is a tiny split in the middle of one of the rear seat belts.

The C pillar is the bit im worried about, ive had the bolts out from the boot floor before when i changed the boot carpet.

Easy job?

It's not hard Vince, just tedious.

From memory, you need to remove the "C" pillar trim and to do this you need to firstly remove the lower part that runs around into the boot. I have a horrible feeling that the rear seat backs need to come out but that's a doddle, they're held in with four bolts.

The lower trim is secured with a few Torx screws. A bit of fiddling will free it after the screws are out.

The upper trip is clipped in and needs a hefty (but careful) pull to free it. The seat belt spool will then be nicely exposed.

thanks Jim,

Hopefully they wont notice it but if so then i will need to get on with it.

Luckily (in a way) my C pillar trims could do with replacing as they have gone baggy. That way i might be able to butcher them to get them out easier then take my time putting the new good ones back in.

Tedious doesnt surprise me.....when i did the back seat it was a right pain in the A
